pacco

pacco is a utility to allow you to quickly install or uninstall plugins with custom alias or functions.

It works with a simple plain text file pacco.txt that lists the wanted packages in this format:

jump  git@github.com:mattmezza/jump.git   1.0.0
sp    git@github.com:mattmezza/sp.git     0.1.0
spot  https://github.com/rauchg/spot.git  0.2.0

You can override the name of the used file by setting an env variable PACCO_FILE="your-pacco.txt".

When run, pacco will install the packages in a default directory pacchi (you can override this location via the env var PACCO_DIR).

Installation

source <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mattmezza/pacco/1.0.0/pacco.sh) && pacco i pacco https://github.com/mattmezza/pacco.git 1.0.0

Installing pacco is very easy: just source the pacco.sh in this repo. Here's how I do it in my dotfiles.

Usage

What follows is the output of pacco -h, accessible at any time.

Usage:
    pacco [OPT] CMD ARGS

CMD:
    l|list
    i|install
    u|uninstall
    s|source
    I|ia|inatall-all
    U|ua|uninstall-all
    S|sa|source-all

OPT:
    -f|--file
    -d|--dir
    -h|--help
    -v|--version

Examples:
    $ pacco list                # lists all pkgs
    $ pacco i name git-url tag  # installs pkg 'name' @tag via 'url'
    $ pacco u name              # uninstalls pkg 'name'
    $ pacco s name              # sources pkg 'name'
    $ pacco I                   # installs all pkgs
    $ pacco U                   # uninstalls all pkgs
    $ pacco S                   # sources all the pkgs
    $ pacco -v                  # prints the pacco version
    $ pacco -h                  # prints this message
    $ pacco -d                  # prints the pacco dir
    $ pacco -f                  # prints the pacco file

Development

Developing pacco is quite easy. Clone the repo and start editing the pacco.sh file. You can always source your verions and test it in your shell.
